    I also recommend tri city canvas. Great tarps and great service.

    Oddly enough I also have a bright green tarp from them.

    Keep an eye on the median... I've seen 3 in the last week beside the road... If I ever see one in time to get pulled over, and traffic isn't bad, I'm going to grab it... I need a good tarp to cover my 10 cord pile of firewood... Yes, if you were wondering why I have 10 cord of firewood, I heat my home with a woodstove.

    Tarp stop or Tri City Canvas for all of your cargo securement equipment and tarps. One has lower prices on some items than the other

    That’s ok with a legitimate question, we always tell people to search the forum before creating a new thread. I’m pretty sure someone from management here said they would rather us add to old threads than post new ones.

    Keep in mind that some of the low cost places will increase the distance between d-rings and run a lower stitch count on the webbing just to cut cost.

    And even worse, they use low quality vinyl that rubs through extremely easy or crack in the cold. Good quality tarps will last 10+ years. Cheap ones won't make it through a single winter.

    Badger Utility would be one of those lower cost places. It’s ok if you want to make do for the time being.
